Envy On The Coast - Lapse lyrics

rate me

The road turned into a snake

and looked in my veins and said

it's in your blood

that's when i tried to run

but it was way too dark

i got scared and ran into your arms

oh sweet chemical predicament

i can't stop, can't change the evident

predisposed to forget the best part

the story where the hero dies without regard

made sure that the needle was clean when i let myself fall asleep

and all i kept was a piece of your picture

it slipped from my fingers when i slid into my dreams

it's not as deep as it seems

and unfair as it may be

i'm just here to remind you

remind you not to forget to remember me

i know you know how it feels to make a clean break

my bones are your bones

my home is your home

you must be so confused

i got scared and ran away from you

oh sweet divine predicament

i can't hide i can't change the evident

i'm predisposed to trust a photograph

to portray the way you used to laugh

do you recall the day you wed

such a radiant bride

you couldn't wait to see your first born take his very first steps

and you smiled at him cause you thought he looked like me

it's not as deep as it seems

and unfair as it may be

i'm just here to remind you

remind you not to forget to remember me

now i've dodged your questions so much

i don't possess the strength to answer straight

and no i'm not afraid, at least not to die

i'm afraid to live and not remember why

sweet chemical indifference

i can't stop, can't change the evident

predisposed to perpetual sickness

i refuse to let you all be witness

make sure the needle is clean when you let me go back to sleep

and situate the piece of her picture underneath my fingers

it protects me in my dreams

it's not as deep as it seems

and unfair as it may be

i'm just here to remind you

remind you not to forget to remember me
